The quality of Firefox has nothing to do with the anti-competitive actions of platforms. This affects Vivaldi, Brave, and all the 3rd-party web browsers (or the platform browsers on other platforms, e.g. Chrome on Windows).
Mozilla doesn't make this argument because their browser share is lower than it used to be, but because diversity, not domination, is the goal.

- fabrice_d 4y agoA marketing budget in the billions (including shady bundling deals), and free Chrome advertising on top web properties helps quite a bit.

If Firefox remains at ~2% marketshare, web developers will pay it no more regard than they do now. It needs to be more popular so proper support for it can't be shrugged off, and so Mozilla has a stronger hand at the web standards table to stop Google from railroading whatever they please through.
